Abstract
A surgical table which includes a patient support surface and one or more trays pivotally connected to the patient support surface and selectively deployed to hold objects such as surgical instruments. Each tray has a first condition in which angular rotation of the tray about the axis of rotation is inhibited and a second condition in which the tray is rotatable angularly about the axis of rotation. In the first condition, the tray is capable of receiving and supporting the surgical instruments. This also permits a width reduction of the back section of the patient support surface.
